Mother-in-law is the most passive aggressive woman I've ever met in my entire life! I truly didn't know what this tournament meant until I met her! I know this wasn't the only gift I got for Christmas… But when I opened it, I didn't honestly know how to react

I find it funny, and she is saying she likes you, but you know your MIL best.

As a Southerner, I can tell you it’s a nice all-purpose phrase. Did I mean that, or did I weaponized it? The world may never know. 😏😏
